The car park is well lit at night. Please feel free to contact us in advance and upon arrival, if you would like any assistance between the car park and the building. The shortest distance between the nearest car parking space and the building is 20 metres across a gravel surface (though this is not via the main reception entrance).

The main entrance is approached by crossing a gravel carpark, with an undulating surface leading to 3 stone steps down (approx. 210mm high each) and then via a 16 metre flagstone and gravel path leading to three steps up (one at 80mm, another at 160mm and a third at 200mm high per step). The front entrance door is manual, it is a heavy door 930mm wide with a circular handle and opens inwards into a small entry porch where another door accesses the main reception and welcoming area.
